We are glad to announce the first release of CamlFloat. CamlFloat is a highly stylized OCaml interface to Lapack and Blas. This interface tries to make numerical linear algebra programs look like they were written in the conventional linear algebra mathematics notation, without sacrificing speed or memory efficiency. It also tries to insulate the user from the convoluted and bug-prone interface provided by Lapack. The design borrows a lot from Matlab, but tries to stick to the OCaml way of doing things. Some parts might take some getting used to. The library has been used extensively to code, test and time our own research algorithms. So it is battle-hardened to some extent. User feedback is welcome. The package can be obtained from http://math.ucsb.edu/~lyons/camlFloat/ Enjoy, Shivkumar Chandrasekaran Bill Lyons
